The six-semester Bachelor's degree course in IT Security teaches the design of secure and reliable information processing systems for general and special applications. This includes the specification of application requirements, the design and analysis of methods for solving the tasks set, the development of data structures and algorithms, their implementation in software and hardware and the proof that the system constructed in this way meets the requirements set.
A special focus is placed on learning through play to teach the complex concepts of IT security in a fun and interactive way.
At the same time, emphasis is also placed on teaching challenging theory in a clear way to equip students with a solid foundation of knowledge and skills. By combining theory and practice, students can fully develop their IT security skills and prepare for a successful career.
The Bachelor's degree course in IT Security is a subject-specific course that focuses on security in computer science. The course prepares students for a career in IT security and provides them with the necessary knowledge and skills to securely design and protect information systems and networks.
Fundamentals
In the first semesters, students learn the fundamentals of computer science and IT security. Students learn programming and an analytical approach to information technology problems. In addition, you will deepen your knowledge of important mathematical concepts that will play an important role in the course of your studies, as well as basic algorithms that form the basis for many applications in computer science.
Specialization and practical experience
In the following semesters, students are actively prepared for specialization in IT security. They acquire comprehensive knowledge in the areas of cryptography and coding. They also deal with the challenges of cybersecurity through realistic internships.
In the field of computer science, students receive further training by completing modules such as databases, operating systems and networks. These basics are essential for understanding the complex interrelationships of modern IT systems.
In a seminar, students are introduced to scientific research methods and scientific work. They learn how to research sources, develop theories and present results.
Further specialization and degree
Building on this in-depth knowledge of computer science, a link to security is established. Students learn how to design secure networks and use forensics to analyze digital traces and investigate attacks. This knowledge enables them not only to understand IT systems, but also to protect them.
In order to meet the individual interests of students, the degree program offers a variety of elective modules in the field of computer science. These allow students to specialize in additional topics in their own area of interest.
The course ends with the Bachelor's thesis, in which students carry out a comprehensive project in IT security and present the results in a written paper. This thesis demonstrates that they are able to apply scientific methods and analyze complex problems and their solutions.
